coming to take me away
 

By this time tomorrow one piggy will be history. Will I miss him? Of course he served me well for years. I can do without him, sure, however maybe karma will follow him to piggy heaven.

Bye, bye piggy. We will check on the karma in a month or so.

Speedy recovery
 

Wishing you a speedy recovery so you can get OTW ASAP.
Call me if you need anything.

I suppose by going through the whole diagnosis and prognosis as you have, you can develop a cavalier attitude but I gotta say that the thought of what you are going through gives me the heebee jeebees. Be well and recover quickly Pal.

Heal up fast my friend, I wish you the best, and if there's anything I can do let me know and I will surely try.

I'm sure you'll be fine bob, back to Baja in no time. Can't wait to see you rope some fish down there again on some homemade "spoons"

You'll be fine. Just don't let them give you Vicadins. Get the stronger stuff. Good luck!

Bob,

Take a black sharpie and mark the "thing" that you want the doctor to cut.


You don't want any mistakes about what little, protruding thing they cut down there.


:eek:

Thanks Matt, the whole toe is BLACK and shrunken and the Dr has been fondling it for two weeks. Ross, not cavalier just resigned and hoping by putting it out there others will lighten up on themselves. Attitude is about 95% of the healing process. KARMA rules. Tight lines all.

Hope you have a speedy recovery Bob. Tight Lines!

:cheers1:

Here's to a speedy recovery? What's the typical turnaround time for a procedure like this?

Dr says 4-6 weeks should do it, some people even less, some moore and some never come back. I expect to be yaking 1st week of June. San Quintin Halibut Tourney 6 JUNE, Gonzaga 24-30 June then mid July to Asuncion to visit my friend Rossman. Thanks for asking. Tight lines. Any one want to join me??????

wish you a speedy recovery bob

Healing Vibes, Bob!!!!!

And that is why God gave us ten toes. In case he needed to recall one of them. Good luck "chester". Mike

Gods speed on recovery, my friend.

I still say it would make a fine necklace...an ice breaker to any conversation...a chick magnet...? :kayak-surfer:

I would love to be around when trying to explain the crusted up dried dead toe on a chain.

Heal fast my friend!

Thinking of you Bob! Please update us as soon as you are able.

Sending healing thoughts your way! Heal up fast!

Wish'n you the best BOB! Hope everything goes well !

Keep it for bait!!!

Get better soon Robert.

I still would like to do that mag bay trip if we can get a group together.

Mag Bay? Just after CHRISTMAS????? Or, need TWO WEEKS. Where to camp or stay, what areas to fish, need lots of info on the area. Lets plan it now. Who would be interested that could go? Who's been there, suggestions. This could be another trip of a lifetime.

On friday at 2:20 pm they took my toe. They will not give it back, it was sent to pathology for testing then to disposal, it might be toxic. There was no pain involved, no pain meds. Diabetic nuroapathy killed the pain receptors years ago, no feeling in the feet. I got home Saturday afternoon and on bed test for a couple more days. Walked 100yds this morning with no aid or assistance, balance is a little different but I think it is all in the shoe I have to wear on the left foot. Hope to see you all soon, and thank you for your prayers. Tight lines.

Glad to hear the good news and looks like a speedy recovery is in your future, see you sometime soon my friend.

Hey Mako, I wish you a speedy recovery. Heal well and get back to fishing. Cheers, BB

Excellent!
19 thumbs up Bob!

Just wanted to let you know Bob, that you were in the thoughts of those of us that participated in the Rock Fish Round Up for HOW yesterday. I clearly heard on the radio chatter that it was messed up that now you would only be able to count to 19. Or that some had suggested you could use the once attached toe for bait. Glad you're OK. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Tight Lines.

Thanks guys, as of Zeds comment. Still seeing double so it is 38 TU. Baja awaits us all, tight lines. Palooza coming soon?

HOPE FOR A SPEEDY RECOVERY BOB FISH ARE A BITE'N THEIR WAITEN FOR YA RHINO IS READT JUST PUT IN NEW SWITCH AND BRAKE PADS,AIR FILTER,OIL AND FILTER
:cheers1:

Good luck and fast recovery Bob

Glad to see you're doing better. Hope you get well fast.

glad to hear everything went okay, heal up quick :)

Glad to hear it went well, now hurry up and heal, so you can get back out there.

Damn it Bob, I really wanted to try rigging that Toe Baja style! You will be back right when it starts to get hot n heavy around here.

Thanks guys, and Greg every time I think about a trigger taking a bite I CRINGE!!!!! June will be getting good in Baja too. Tight lines all.

What would you rather:

Use your own toe to use for bait to catch a trigger?

Find that with your dead nerve endings, a trigger is eating your still-connected toe?

Glad to hear that it went well.

As the Turks say " I hope it is in your past" meaning hope for a speedy recovery.

Just had 1st follow up with surgeon. She opened dressing and said "and then there were nine". Looks good, dry and no signs of bleeding or infection. Come back next Wednesday and I might take the stitches out but probabally will wait until the following week just to be sure. So I should be in the water before the end of May. Right on schedule for San Quintin and Gonzaga trips. Life is great!!!!! Get out there and ENJOY it. Tight lines.

As yakjoe say's ....."No pics didn't happen". Meaning ware arr duh pics uh yer nighn tohes.
